Anarchist immigration Restricted.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Chi.
cago anarchists are more absorbing
topic of conversation even than the
election. And the conversation takes
q very practical shape. Some congress.
men are OF opinion that congress will
find 1t necessary to enact some legisla.
tion to restrict immigration, and so
make it impossible for the aparchist
leaders of the Old World to come here
to ply their avocation. The German.
Americans are very much In earnest In
this matter. and. In order that the cry
OF knownothingism may not be raised =,
it has been suggested that some ma.
turalized American citizen shall intro.

Randall on the Work of Congress


Mr.. Randall says that he quite
agrees with the sentiments expressed
by Senator Sherman, that more geuer-
al and beneficial legislation has been
enacted by this Congress than by any
other in years. 81 differ" SAID he,
''from Mr.. Sherman in saying that all
the good measures originated with the
Senate. The record of the House will
compare favorably with that of the
Senate. The record made by Con-
gress will do great deal to strength
en- the Democratic party, and, as far as
that is concerned, the party was never
in better condition. All of the public
measures which Congress passed will
meet with the approval of the country
at large.
at was, of course, unfortunate that
the General Deficiency bill did not
reach the President in time for his
signature. Its failure will work
hardship in the courts by the non-pay-
ment of witness fees. 1t was not the
fault of the House that the bill did not
become law. Fearing there might be
failure, the Committee on Appropria-
tions had the rules suspended and
passed the Urgent Deficiency bill,
which would have bridged over the
difficulties and made it possible to have
carried on the workings of the Judi
cial Department of the Government.
This bill passed the House, but was
killed in the Senate by Mr.. Edmunds,
who objected to its second reading,
which prevented its going upon the
calendar
"As to the power of the President
to sign any of the bills which he did
sign before adjournment, / must dis
agree with Senator Thurman. In the
language of the Constitution think it
is explicitly expressed that all bills shall
either be returned to Congress or
signed before adjournment. Had the
Senate not retarded the progress of the
Urgent Deficiency bill there would
have been no need of raising the ques-
ton as to the right of the President to
sign the bills. 1t was the only i'm
portant one in which the business of
the Government is particularly Con
cerned. By the postponement of The
payment of the Judgements and like
claims against the Government it will
of course necessitate an increased ap-
preparation by the next Congress on
account of the accrued interest.

there is yet in the Treasury an unex-
pended surplus for the improvement of
rivers and harbors something like $685.

Mutual Apologies in Order.

Now that two years of Democratic
rule have passed without either running
or injuring the country, an apology is
in order from the Republicans who
impeached the patriotism of their op-
ponents.
The Republican stumpers and editors
proclaimed loudly during the last Pres
identlal canvass that should the Demo
Gratis gain power there would be dan
ger that the 'rebel debt" might be
assumed, while it was certain that
"business interests" and the "rights of
the negro" would be smashed to smith
Greens. Instead of this, business is
certainly in better condition than it
was three years before the election,
while not single outrage has been
reported from the South, and the Dem
ocratic President has just triumphed
over both the platform of his own
party and reluctant majority in the
Senate, in his determined effort to give
the best Office in the District of Co.
lumbia to negro. Surely it would be
only manly for the Republicans frankly
t, acknowledge that they were wrong
in their harsh judgment of their Dem
ocratic fellow citizens.
The Democrats, on their part, owe
an apology to the Republicans. For a
dozen years and more the Democratic
orators and editors have rung the
changes on charges of Republican cor
ruption and rascality. "Turn the ras-
Gals OUT and "Open the books" were
shibboleths of the canvass. Some
10000 Republican officials, il is said,
have been turned out or supplanted,
and yet how few of them all have
been even accused of rascality. The
books have been opened-not half as
thoroughly as they ought to have been,
no doubt-but no falsifcations or other
startling discoveries have been made.
The expression of mutual regrets for
the harsh and unjust things said on
both sides in the last campaign might
lead to the adoption of higher plane
for the next contest World

The Supreme Court.

In the Supreme Court, Berks and
Columbia are allotted one week. AT
the late term the List contained forty
three cases, seyen of which were from
Columbia county. -Four Of these were
heard, the other three go over 20 next
year, and of the whole list thirteen
cases are unheard. There is no doubt
the Court is doing the best it can, but
there is steady increase of cases while
the time in which to hear them re
mains the same.
The members of the Bar from Berks
county petitioned the Court to allot a
whole week to cases from that county,
but the Court said it was impossible just
now to make any such arrangement
The members of the Bar from Col
umbia county petitioned the Court to
make an order, that cases from Colum-
bia county be not called for argument
before Tuesday morning without losing
their place on the List and the Court
granted the prayer, and made the nee.
essary order. Hereafter, therefore,
we need not leave home till Monday,
instead of, as heretofore, going down
on the Saturday previous. The ar
raugement is very satisfactory one
indeed. F.

Steam Heating for Railroad Cars.

John Bersch, of Kingston, says
Scranton Truth, has recently obtained
a patent upon an ingenious device for
connecting steam pipes in the heating
OF passenger cars. which he claims can
be so effective in its operation as to
make practicable the heating of large
train from the engine at au even TEN
perature, The arrangement is series
of brass couplings fitted with an auto
matte steam cutoff, and is intended to
be used in connecting Que car with an
other, as done at present by rubber
hose, and with which great difficulty
is experienced by the serious effect
which steam has upon it. In the case
of Mr.. Barsch's appliance, if an acc.
dent occurs to train by which car
leaves the track and the connection
should break, the automatic shut off
would retain the steam in pipes under
the cars or small radiators placed IN
the cars, and there would be no possi-
BILE escape of steam unless through the
breaking of these, but which on ac-
count Of the wrought-iron pipes used
may not occur. The inventor also
claims great economy in the matter of
heat for the steam required to furnish
1t, but small quantity of the latter be-
ing necessary as compared with the
present system of steam heating when
ever in use.

The Mining Boss.
JUDGE PAXsoN CLEARLY DEFINES HIS
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

The Supreme Court Monday defined
the position of thinning boss" in re-
versiug the judgment recovered by
Isaac G. Roby against the Red Stone
Coke Co, in the Common Pleas Court
of Fayette county, Roby was miner,
working in an improperly ventilated
'hat heading" He was injured by an
explosion of fre-damp.
He sued the company and it was
claimed in defense that the accident
was the result of the negligence of the
mining boss, and that the latter was a
fellow servant of the plaintiff, who was
thereby precluded from recovering
damages against the employer, The
'mining boss" is man whose employ
ment in all bituminous coal mines is
required by the act of April Is, 1877,
which also prescribes his duties, the
principal of which is to see that the
mine is kept properly ventilated, The
Supreme Court holds that the trial
Judge, under the evidence 10 the case,
should have directed a verdict for the
defendant Judge Paxson says;
"The mining boss is creature of
the Legislature, selected by the mine
owner in obedience to the command of
the law and in the interest and for the
protection of the miners themselves.
Reasonable care must be exercised in
his selection, but when such care has
been exercised the company is not LA
Bile for his negligence. His co-em-
ployes take the risk of his negligence,
precisely as in other cases. If he is
incompetent or careless they can at
once discover 1t and notify the super
intendent, while the owners, with ev,
cry wish to protect the miners, have
no such opportunities Of information.

How it Will be Done.
THE HOLDERS OF TRADE DOLLARS WILL
TAKE NOTICE.

The treasury department Monday
afternoon issued circular notifying
holders, that trade dollars, if not de-
faced, multilated, or stamped, will be
redeemed or exchanged at the offices
of the treasurer and several assistant
treasurers of the United States. Re-
quests for the redemption of these
coins stating the amount held should
be forwarded to the above named Of
ficers who will file the application aud
notify holders in their turn when the
presentation may be made and pay
ment obtained after notifying these Of
fcers. Upon the receipt of the motif
cation from them such coins may be
forwarded by express or otherwise,
transportation charges being prepaid,
when receipts will be issued for the
amounts purporting to be contained in
the deposits in the order of their re-
ception. Upon the count and ascer
tainment of the amount of each de-
posit, payment will be made therefor
in standard silver dollars or fractional
silver coin at the option of the holder.
Defaced, mutilated or stamped trade
dollars found ia the deposits will not
be redeemed or exchanged by any OF
the sub-treasury officers, but they will

as bullion in sums of three dollars and
upwards by the United States mints at
the option of the depositor.

The Deficiency Bills Failure,

1t was only an hour before noon that
the apprehension of a failure of the De

a hasty arrangement was suggested,
which received the assent of the House

d.nt of printed copy, duly authenti
Gated by the officials of the two Hous.
es but the scheme failed and the bill
did not become a law, The effect of
the failure will be more serious than is
generally believed, inasmuch as it con-
tains provisions for supplying pressing
demands for postal cards and stamps
connected with the postal service, the
denial of which will, it is expected,
seriously embarrass the Department
and the public. The legal machinery
of the government will also be materi-
ally disarranged during the remainder
of the present fiscal year, as no money
will be available for jurors, witnesses
or Marshals' fees, and many prisoners
notably those confined at Forth
Smith; Ark.-cannot be tried for
months to come. A number of soldiers
claims, aggregating 100000, which
have been certified by the treasury,
will also fail Of settlement,

Washington Oapers.

The newspapers and people of Wash
ington thought it all right for a Re.
publican President to appoint Freder.

identified with Washington interests
as a citizen, to the important office of
Marshal of the District, ever though
the Marshal was The medium of socia
presentation to the President nor did
they get on their ears when the same
colored man was appointed Register ol
the District but President Cleveland
is criticised as having given mortal
offense TO the same newspapers and
people because he initiated his Repub-
lican predecessor in the appointment
of Matthe.Es and Trotter TO succeed
Douglass.
Most of the important District Off
ces have always been filled by appoint
ments from the various States, and
generally without complaint and a
Republican President escaped criticism
when he appointed colored man as
Marshal and again as Register; but
the same people and public journals
which accepted both foreign and col
ored appointees from Republican pow
er, are capering like lunatics because
Cleveland has done the same thing.
The Republican Senators rejected
Matthews solely because he is color
ed man. Had he been a white De.
mocrat with half of Matthews ability
and character, he would have been
confirmed, but a colored man who
dares to think and vote for himself, is
fearful menance TO the Republican
leaders, and they were weak enough
to reject Matthews, and thereby teach
thousands of other intelligent colored
men to think and vote for themselves
To escape just criticism for the wrong,
they invented the excuse that Mat
thews was not citizen of Washing.
ton, In the face of the fact that the
same Senators had confirmed scores Of
Washington appointees frcm the
States and having thus committed
themselves, their first impulse was to
reject Trotter also, ostensibly for the
same reason, but, in fact, because he
was colored man.
But President Cleveland has won in
the end, as the strong and determined
man, sure of his ground, nearly always
will. He had taken his position and
rested there, and at the last moment
the Senators reluctantly concluded
that the President had the best of il

with public sentiment before it was toe
late. Trotter was accordingly con.

certificate of character conveniently

Cleveland Does Not Approve.
MS REFUSAL TO APPEND MS SIGNATURE
TO THE RIVER AMI HARBoR BILL.


An effort has. been made since the
adjournment Of Congress TO induce the
President to sign the river and harbor
bill, and those interested in securing
this action assert that there is nothing
in the Constitution to prevent his do
ing so now if he is so disposed.
Several members OF Congress, in
cluding Representatives Willis and
Dibble, are of opinion that he has the
power and have endeavored to per-
suade him to sign the bill Mr. Willis
said that there was nothing in
the Constitution which provided that
the Pres lent should sign bill before
II o'clock on the 4th of March or that
he should report the fact of his sigma
ture to The House. The only provision
with relation 10 bills not signed before
the expiration of Congress, he ssid,
was that the ten days limit should not
operate TO make the measure become a
law.
He called on the President and
suggested to him that he sign the
bill now unless he objected to its pro
visions. The President informed him
that he could not do so, as he was fully
convinced that bis constitutional pow
er TO sign or veto acts of Congress ex-
pired with the adjournment of that
body. Attorney General Garland
agrees entirely with the President on
this question.

Quay on the Pension Bill.

Senator, NJ. S. Quay, the acknowledged
leader of the republican party in Penn

pension bill:
"The men who did the actual 6ght-
ing and have some pride in their record
as soldiers don't want TO be pauperized.
There is not a man in the Grand Army
post IN favor of it. | don't think any
considerable number of Grand Army
posts can be got to support the move
ment to pass the bill over the Presi-
dents veto. That veto message is the
best thing President Cleveland has put
his hand to, and if were in the Sem
ate l would vote to sustain him.

President Magill, of Swarthmore
College, has made quite stir among
the educators of the State by his pro-
posal that teachers should be more
thoroughly prepared and their profess
ion raised to q higher level. In the
American this week he presents a
brief OF bis views on the subject, and
the measures he suggests are discussed
by Superintendent MacAlister, Ex-
superintendent Wickersham and Pro-
fessors Thompson and james, of the
University. These gentlemen warmly
sympathize with DR.. Magili's idea, but
they seem to think that school-teachers,
receiving on an average $50 month,
can not afford four years course in
college as preparation.
A year or two after Tyler's accession
to the Presidency, he contemplated
taking trip, and sent his son to order
special train of cars. 1t so happened
that the Superintendent was a very
strong Wing. On "Bob's" making

informed him that his road could not
furnish special train for the President
